It is a cold rainy day here, so I needed something to warm my belly for lunch. This is a nice and easy to prepare soup. I found that the cheese curdled but I think that is because the directions say to add the cheese when the soup is at boiling point. Had I added it earlier, I don't think that would have happened, so next time I shall add the cheese before the soup boils. I added a dash of garlic powder and some salt and pepper and I assume that the "mustard" referred to dried mustard so I used that too. All in all, this is a good recipe and I will make it again. Thx.

Very simple, yet quite delicious. I think it's the mustard powder that really vamps up the flavor. I used a sweet onion and only used 1 tbsp of butter and that worked just fine. Nothing beats a quick, cheesey soup..... thanx for posting this!
